Kindergarten and First Grade Registration is Now Open for Spanish Dual Language Classrooms!

Posted on 02/27/2018

A Message from Superintendent Farrelly:

Good Morning Staff and Parents,

I am excited to announce that parents of rising kindergarten and first grade students may now register their child for a Spanish Dual Language classroom for the 2018-2019 school year! Registration forms may be downloaded from our website or obtained from any elementary school or the district office. Parents may also visit our website to complete the electronic registration form. Registration is now open and will continue through March 29.

To ensure equitable access to the program, we will use a lottery system to determine the class lists. In order to start a program, a school must have at least 20 students enrolled per class. On March 30, we will conduct the lottery and subsequently announce which schools will receive the program, based on parent interest.

I am also inviting any parent who is interested in the program to join me on a school tour of Jeffreys Grove Elementary School on March 12. Jeffreys Grove is located in Raleigh and has implemented a very successful Spanish Dual Language Program. If you attend the visit, you will be able to go into Dual Language classrooms and see the program in person. You may sign-up to attend the school tour by using this electronic registration form.

I would also like to invite you to attend any of the following parent interest meetings from 5:30 - 6:30 pm:

February 28, 2018: Kitty Hawk Elementary School
March 1, 2018: Cape Hatteras Elementary School
March 7, 2018: Nags Head Elementary School
